Hide AdDS Justin Parr said: “It is believed the men, who were all wearing masks, forced the front door frame to gain entry to the house, before making an untidy search of various rooms.
“Understandably this was a terrifying incident for the victims and we are keen to hear from anyone who may have information about who these three men are.
“If you saw anything suspicious in the area around the time of the incident, or in the hours leading up to it, please get in touch even if you think the information may be irrelevant, it could help us piece things together.”
